When Joan Crawford saw The Shining Hour on stage; she pleaded with the studio to let her spread her acting wings in the film version. She got her wish; playing a New York siren who marries a prosperous farmer (Melvyn Douglas) and moves to Wisconsin. There she is drawn to his handsome brother (Robert Young); even as she befriends the brother's selfless wife (Margaret Sullavan; Crawford's choice for the role). The passionate triangle plays out in the best tradition of classic screen melodrama: glossy and chic; but resonant with honest emotion. And the movie's heart-stopping climax with Crawford battling flames to rescue Sullavan from certain death in a house fire is; both literally and figuratively; incendiary filmmaking.
